Analyses of histological and transcriptome differences in the skin of short-hair and long-hair rabbits

Abstract Background Hair fibre length is an important economic trait of rabbits in fur production. However, molecular mechanisms regulating rabbit hair growth have remained elusive. Results Here we aimed to characterise the skin traits and gene expression profiles of short-hair and long-hair rabbits...
